The story behind the beer:
"Every year since 2009 when Black Raven Brewing opened, we have collaborated with Snipes Mountain Brewery on a fresh hop beer. This year it was our turn to be the host brewery and we bring you this annual treat with pride."
The beer:
"This was brewed as a fairly standard saison ale with a traditional saison yeast strain. That's where tradition ends and Yakima hops begin. We threw 394 pounds of wet, freshly picked Citra hop cones into this bad boy. Take that tradition!"
